And please don’t get me started on resolutions. We’ve established such artificially predictable traditions around arbitrarily defined “special” days that we’ve forgotten to focus on all the other days.
Calli the Wonderschnauzer thankfully knows none of this, and as one year segues into another, I think she’s onto something.
I happened across her napping form on an otherwise ordinary Saturday afternoon. She was dreaming something fierce - her giant eyebrows always betray her - and I sat on the floor for a bit and just watched her.
When she finally woke up, snacks were had, balls were tossed and retrieved, and I may or may not have given her a Schnu hug.
It was a spontaneous moment that reminded me why we’re so lucky to have her. She makes every day special in its own crazy way, and thanks to her we never know when the next moment of whimsy will happen.
None of this finds its way onto a calendar, and none of it is ever planned. It’s just life, unscripted and unexpected, and she - and we - would have it no other way.
And while some of us will resolve to do things differently in the coming year, I’ll instead resolve to fill in those unheralded in-between days like this one with more moments that make our dog - and by extension us - happy.
Sounds like a fun way to spend any day of any year, no?
